The Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs is an organization of heritage established in 1931 by first-generation Americans of Syrian Lebanese descent. Their mission was to give to the United States a pure Americanism with their fullest loyalty and undying allegiance, because America provided them and their posterity a new life of hope --- a hope founded upon principles of freedom, equality and opportunity.
See you there!
